Bee Observation Hive

​Our bee observation hive shows an entire population of bees in its true environment. It shows the European Honey Bee (Apis melifera), carrying out all of its daily operations: food and water gathering, cleaning, thermoregulation, communication, and reproduction. Our observation hive allows you to see day-to- day activities within the hive without disrupting or irritating the bees. In our observation hive you can:
​
- Study the honey bee colony.
- See different honey bee castes and their duties within the hive.
- Follow the development of honey bee larvae.
- Watch honey production and storage.
- Observe the bee dance.
- Spot the Queen bee. (white dot on her back)

Carnivorous Plant Tank

​Carnivorous plants are plants that obtain some or all of their nutrients by capturing and digesting small animals, such as insects. Carnivorous plants attract insects by:
​
- Lures and smells.
- Trapping  - Sticky secretions that hold the insects using a trap door.
- Digesting – the plant absorbs the insects.
